Why Denver's Chinatown was forgotten — and what's being done to remember it
A mural has been set up in Denver to honor the city’s long-gone Chinatown, which was destroyed following an anti-Chinese riot in 1880 that displaced many Chinese immigrants. About the project: Colorado Asian Pacific United (CAPU) chose Hmong American artist Nalye Lor to create the mural as a way to honor the former Chinatown and acknowledge the contributions of Chinese Americans in the region. Key details: Work on the mural, which can be found on the brick wall outside of Denver Fire Station 4, began in April.
